Story takes place in California, it starts in a prison, and the inmate Hector is the one telling the story. Its a present/ flashback story. So it has a lot of mixed parts which i believe would make it great, because once the flash back stops it would leave you hooked to find out what else happens. This is the first time i write anything like this, so please leave feed back to help make it better. (unfinished)

Inspired by an encounter with refugees.

I'm working on a collection of childhood stories. Although the stories are about events in my childhood that actually happened I write them from the memory of my young self. I was a boy who liked to imagine and exaggerate so for that reason I don't know how accurate my recollection is. Therefore, I consider the stories to be fiction.

Love. People are so naive-young people at that. Four years ago in the 8th grade was when alma realized the amount of girls who thought they were in love. She never found out if the boys thought the same. Nor did she care. Perhaps it was only young love she didn't believe in. But either way, she continued seeing love as a game. It's like how sometimes you get an idea in your mind that you're in a game of life and everyone around you is aware of it but you. That's kind of how it is with love to Alma. She can't blame her parents' new divorce, she never believed in love. Maybe it was her mom's lectures that ended in things like, " don't get married young." or "I still love your father, just not like that." Or maybe it was the miserable couples all around her, trapped by the sexist stereotypes of Mexican culture. Perhaps it was the stories she heard from her great aunts when she visited Mexico. Of the love that couldn't be, or the love that turned into the opposite. Hatred. Nonetheless, love was scary. Foreign. So what happens when she thinks she is experiencing it? How is she supposed to know? Or is she just supposed to feel it? Alma moves into LA with her mom and enters with dreams and aspirations. It's their somewhat annual summer trip. Only this time, everything is different. Join along to hear more.
